Memorial Hospital of Texas County Authority: Caring for Our Community Since 1948
For nearly 78 years, Memorial Hospital of Texas County Authority (MHTCA) has proudly served the healthcare needs of Guymon, Texas County, and the surrounding Oklahoma Panhandle. Since opening its doors in 1948, our organization has remained committed to providing quality healthcare close to home while adapting to meet the changing needs of our community.
Memorial Hospital of Texas County Authority is a county-owned, non-profit Critical Access Hospital licensed by the Oklahoma State Department of Health. Our 25-bed facility provides essential healthcare services to residents throughout the region while maintaining a commitment to compassionate, personalized care.
Originally constructed in 1948, Memorial Hospital of Texas County was established to provide local access to quality healthcare for the residents of Guymon and the surrounding area. Over the decades, the hospital has grown alongside the community it serves. Through facility expansions, equipment upgrades, and service enhancements, MHTCA has continued to invest in the health and well-being of local residents while remaining focused on its mission: Working together to provide compassionate personalized care in our hometown.
Today, MHTCA offers a variety of healthcare services, including Emergency Room Services, Imaging Services, Respiratory Therapy, Laboratory Services, Medical/Surgical Inpatient Care, Swing Bed Services, and primary care through High Plains Clinic.
High Plains Clinic, located at 421 Medical Drive in Guymon, provides family practice services for patients of all ages, including newborns and pediatric patients. The clinic offers family practice, well-child visits, immunizations, chronic health management, disease prevention, preventative care, and DOT physicals. To better serve our community, High Plains Clinic recently extended its office hours and is now open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
MHTCA is proud to employ approximately 100 dedicated healthcare professionals and support staff who work together every day to improve the health and well-being of our patients. Our team includes providers, nurses, respiratory therapists, laboratory personnel, imaging staff, administrative and support professionals, and many others who share a common goal: delivering quality healthcare with compassion, professionalism, and respect.
Our vision, 'Improving lives – providing a healthier tomorrow today,' guides everything we do. We continually strive for excellence by investing in our staff, technology, equipment, and services to ensure quality healthcare remains accessible to the citizens of Guymon and the surrounding area.
Why Guymon? Guymon is more than where we work, it is our home. Many of our employees were born and raised in the Oklahoma Panhandle and have chosen to build their careers and raise their families here. We understand the unique challenges of rural healthcare and believe everyone deserves access to quality medical care close to home.
Community means caring for our neighbors through every stage of life. It means being there during emergencies, helping patients maintain their health, supporting them through illness and recovery, and providing compassionate care close to home when it matters most.
For nearly eight decades, the citizens of Texas County have supported Memorial Hospital of Texas County Authority, and we are honored by the trust they have placed in us.
